[warning: you won’t find any useful identity related info in this post] I recently moved to a new apartment, and while unboxing the books I had to decide on a criteria for shelving them in our wonderful black billy. Hierarchies sucks, because they force you to choose a single criteria for slicing…
Almost a year has passed since TechEd EMEA; I remember giving a chalk talk on STSes and claims based identity in general, and a guy from the audience who was asking especially elaborate questions… it was clear that he was hands on and had a lot of experience in developing for CardSpace. I…
On a flight from Sydney to S.Francisco. We were supposed to leave at 1:55pm, we took off almost at 9:00pm. I am really, really pissed off and the only thing that lightens up my mood is re-reading the great comments that the Australian TechEd attendees left on as feedback for the couple of…
Greetings from the far New Zealand 🙂 this is a great place, I wish I’d have more time to look around. I compensated by spending a stupid amount of money in souvenirs (all bought in about 20 mins, so without much judgement (if ever)). Yesterday I had my session on Cloud & Identity,…
Mark Russinovich had a nice chat with David; check it out here. I really appreciate the practice of annotating the video with the times at which certain topics are touched, that allows me to thumb through things like I’m used to do with text: HUGE time saver! Ryan was to kind to suggest…

That requires, naturally, to be able to prove that you are indeed a student. Eduserv is a not-for-profit UK-based organization that focuses…
The latest issue of the Architecture Journal is available for download here (I am breaking the news even before the rest of the pages are updated from issue 15 to issue 16: see how much I care about you?;-)). What makes this especially interesting is that issue 16 is entirely dedicated to identity!…
With few weeks of delay I finally forced in my schedule the conclusion of my little getting started series “… using Zermatt” (links to former episodes: setting up an STS for smartcard-backed managed cards & issuing smartcard-backed managed cards). The first posts I wrote about Zermatt were all about producing identity info: today…
I was dividing my attention between the Scrubs special on TV & Digg on my PC, when an article titled "Experts: Passwords May Not Be a Good Online Defense" caught my eye: well, couldn’t agree more!:-) It turns out that the article is from the NY Times, and it’s short & sweet hence…
